Every human needs a home, every mummy needs a sarcophagus :D
I got this idea while watching TV yesterday ;) Actually I have always liked ancient Egypt, my mum is a history teacher so I've got quite a lot of books about it :D (used as reference).
At the beginning I wanted to draw only the sarcophagus but then I did the background as well =P (couldn't resist) I've even payed attention to some historical features - like the eye of Horus (watches over the living and the dead), the drawing behind the sarcophagus is a procedure of heart weighing (if the heart was lighter than a feather, the soul could go to heaven) and some more.
And just in case if you wonder why is Amen holding a strange stick in his hand - that is a staff - one of the pharaoh's symbols of might (the other one is a lash, usaully they are hold crossed over the pharaoh's chest). I even had to redraw it one time - first I drew a lash in his hand, but in the righ hand must always be the staff)
Sorry about this long, boring ... blah blah blah

TREMBLE MORTALS! AMEN HAS AWAKEN!
